For over fifteen years the Fridays on Prouty Concert series has been largely funded by The Troy Foundation providing a variety of free concerts by professional musicians to local citizens. The Troy Foundation is celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2024. We have line-up some exceptional concert experiences to share the anniversary celebrations with the public. Happy Birthday! Happy Summer!

Fridays On Prouty
Ryan Munday Band
Friday, June 12 at 7:30 pm

Fridays on Prouty concert series will host the Ryan Mundy Band on Friday, July 12, 2024 at 7:30 pm. Ryan comes to us from Springfield, Ohio with what he calls “rockin’ country music.” His style combines country threads of sweet soulful life-longing lyrics with red-hot-rock edges to make a modern country sound. Ryan is a six-time nominee for the Josie Music awards at the Grand Ole Opry House for Best Male Vocalist in 2022 and for Song of the Year for “On You” and Best Music Video for “Truck Thang” in 2023. Ryan Mundy is an Ohio-original and a rising force in the Ohio country music scene. He is a hardworking, tireless performer with a bright vision for his style. His latest recording is “Payin My Dues,” which speaks of his energy and determination.

This free concert requires no reservations but bring a lawn chair and grab some dinner, a beverage or ice cream from one of the great Trojan restaurants within walking distance. Presented by Troy-Hayner Cultural Center.

Fridays On Prouty
Noah Wotherspoon Band
Friday, July 19 at 7:30 pm

Noah Wotherspoon revealed his exceptional guitar skills by the age of 11. As a young teenager he had his own band called Noah and the Stratocats, who won a spot on the prestigious Chicago Blues Fest stage when he was just 16. The Stratocats played the Chicago Blues Fest for the next eight years. In 2015 Noah received the Albert King award for Best Guitarist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. Wotherspoon started as a kid from Dayton, Ohio who had an affinity for the guitar, but he soon found himself touring America and performing at the world’s Blues Festivals. He has toured Eastern Europe many times and was the headliner at the Reykjavik Blues Festival in Iceland and the Salva Jazz & Blues Festival in Salvatierry, Mexico.

Wotherspoon has followed and experimented with a variety of genres in his 20+ year career. It is blues rock that has ultimately captivated him.
“Every note Wotherspoon plays demonstrates his command of the blues musical style. His guitar solos are dripping with unadulterated emotion, capturing listeners, and transporting them to the heart of the blues. Wotherspoon’s love for the genre is evident in every performance, whether he is singing gritted, fervent lyrics or creating beautiful guitar melodies,” says Viberate Music.

The Noah Wotherspoon Band will include Noah Wotherspoon, guitar; Tom Rastikis, bass; Brian Aylor, drums; Da’Rosa Richardson, keyboards; Danny Manning, alto sax; Eric Wurzelbacher, tenor sax and Charlie Ferrara on trumpet. The band will be performing on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 7:30 pm for the Fridays on Prouty music series in lovely downtown Troy, Ohio.

Lucky Lemonade Concert Series
Shannon Clark and the Sugar
Tuesday, July 9 at 7:30 pm

This Greenville-based band is made up of husband-and-wife team Shannon and Brittany Clark, their daughter Navie and cousin Joey Howard. Shannon writes most of what they perform. Their sound is a soulful Americana with moody, heartfelt lyrics about love, loss and making your way in this life. Shannon says his major influences are Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Glen Hansard, Ryan Adams and Emmy Lou Harris. Their latest new album This Old World, has been met with much acclaim. John Michael Antonio of “Americana Highways” calls it a “fantastic anthem for 2023,” “gut-wrenching…. spirited…. alluring and sensual..”

Lucky Lemonade Concert Series
Solistic
Tuesday, July 16 at 7:30 pm

This wildly creative band hails from Dayton, Ohio and includes Khrys Blank and Eric Reith on percussion, Brad Denson on bass, Josh Johnson on drums, Eric Henry on guitar and Damien Dennis on keys. They call themselves a “multi-genre collective” of musicians from a variety of backgrounds and influences producing their own version of “funky original rock.” We might slide from rock to jazz to somewhere in bluesland without realizing we’ve been traveling. It will be a lucky night at the Hayner with this percussion-led soulful sound.

Lucky Lemonade Concert Series
Yarnspinners
Tuesday, July 23 at 7:30 pm

The Yarnspinners are a string band blending old-time, folk and Americana with quality story telling. Kevin Serey fronts the band on guitar and vocals and writes most of the music they play. Their 2019 album release “Tales from the Horseshoe Lounge” garnered multiple awards, Alyssia Serey plays the upright bass and adds the deep percussive bass notes. Joe Weaver brings a bit of levity and good old American history with the washboard, jaw harp and kazoo. Jeremy Cox keeps the band true to the old-time style with clawhammer banjo and guitar.

Our Current Exhibit
Wild & Whimsical: Works by Dawn Babylon
July 5 – August 25

Beautiful palettes of color and striking shades of contrast saturate the pages of Dawn (Flory) Babylon’s sketchbook. Pieces of her work carry gentle humor and are fanciful with the suggestion of magic or childlike innocence. Her work is sometimes delicate and quaint, but other times somewhat surreally out of place. Babylon has spent the last three years working with water-based pens creating her own unique whimsical style. She loves to represent light by blending values of color. She moves the viewer’s eye and creates the illusion of space in her sketches, placing objects in the foreground and background. She creates visual texture by brushing on layers of watercolor, using short dabs, long strokes and twirls her brush to make overlapping circles. Dawn often must pause, close her sketchbook and allow time to dry, thus avoiding overworking the paper. She finishes her pieces with fine point pens to add definition and additional shading through hatching and stippling.

Dawn (Flory) Babylon is creating art, just for herself these days, but is always excited to share it with others. She only asks… please don’t feed the art.
